Overview
The LMT (Losi Monster Truck) brought solid-axle monster truck realism back to a premium mainstream platform in 2020. Licensed Son-uva Digger, Grave Digger, and Monster Energy body schemes make it the most visually accurate backyard monster truck available. Solid axles (not independent suspension) give it that authentic monster-truck feedback — huge wheelstands, scale freestyle moves, and attempted backflips feel right. On 4S LiPo it's fast enough to jump serious ramps without being unmanageable; the Spektrum Firma 2075Kv brushless motor and 130A Smart ESC provide clean, predictable power. It's less 'basher' and more 'performer' — if you grew up watching Monster Jam, this is the RC you wanted.
The Verdict
What's good
- Genuine scale monster truck feel and feedback
- Officially licensed Son-uva Digger/Grave Digger bodies
- Runs great on 4S — not as terrifying as 8S bashers
- Solid axle behavior is unique and rewarding
- Excellent wheelstand and backflip geometry
Watch out for
- Steering servo gets heavily abused — upgrade early
- Body posts crack with rollovers (they will happen)
- Heavy — parts prices scale with size
- Learning curve for freestyle moves
- Licensed bodies command premium replacement prices
Who it's for
Known Issues
Stock steering servo is underspecced for the leverage the solid axle applies — upgrade to a 30+ kg/cm servo (Savox SC-1257TG or equivalent) within the first few runs. Body posts crack with enough rollovers; aluminum aftermarket posts solve it. Battery tray fits standard 4S shorties; full-size 4S packs may need foam spacers.
Common Mods
Savox SC-1257TG or Power HD servo, aluminum body posts, Pro-Line Big Joe II tires, upgraded diff fluid, heavier shock oil for jump stability, custom wheel lip covers.
